Liberty Statue

The Liberty Statue in Arad is a bronze monument on a decorated pedestal where the central figure represents the Homeland wearing a crown and holding a sword. The statue stands in a park setting and includes several companion sculptures surrounding the main figure.

The monument honors thirteen generals who led a revolutionary army and were executed in 1849. The statue was later built through public donations and created by notable sculptors.

The monument displays symbolic figures around the central statue that represent awakening freedom, sacrifice, and fighting spirit through their distinct physical forms and objects they hold.

The monument stands in a central park location and is easily accessible during daylight hours. The surrounding area allows for leisurely walks and provides good visiting conditions throughout the year.

The statue came from an unusual project where citizens funded it through public donations rather than government support. The original sculptor died before completion, and another artist took over to finish the work.
